"Hell Canto 20" by Salvador Dalí is a compelling woodblock, sized at 13 x 10 inches, created between 1960-1964. This piece is part of Dalí's extensive project to visually interpret Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, which chronicles Dante's journey through the afterlife with Vergil guiding him through Hell and Purgatory, and Beatrice through Paradise.
Originally, the Italian government planned to publish a special edition of the Divine Comedy that would include Dalí's illustrations. However, after Communists protested against Italy's greatest poet being illustrated by a Spaniard, the project was modified to issue commemorative postage stamps instead.
The artwork is in excellent condition and is unsigned. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, verifying its provenance and ensuring peace of mind for potential buyers.
Owning "Hell Canto 20" by Salvador Dalí provides a unique opportunity to hold a piece of art that blends the literary brilliance of Dante with Dalí's surrealist interpretation.

It promises to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and intricate detail, offering a profound exploration of the human condition as envisioned by two of history's greatest artists.
